Stages loop vertically and horizontally, so you have to figure out the correct way thru the stages. 🔥🐦 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofAV...

No sequencer or real instruments were used, just commands, notes, duration and data typed into the editor/assembler we used to build the game. Here's an example from NES Solstice. Each channel had its own list of instructions

Some kids: Did you ever lose your phone when you were young?
Me: Never.
My phone when I was young:
Nope. MODE is the CVBasic statement to select video mode and by default starts in MODE 0. It isn't referred to the TI hardware mode nor the MSX BASIC definitions.
11.02.2026 12:47 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0CVBasic now supports MODE 4 for MSX2 (similar to MODE 0 but enables extended sprites) and DEFINE SPRITE COLOR for selecting sprites color. I've also added viboritas_msx2.bas to show how to do OR'ed sprites for 3 colors. #retro #retrogaming #msx

You only need to read it using CONT1.SPINNER and CONT2.SPINNER. Compile the bleeding-edge code from git github.com/nanochess/cv... #retro #retrogaming #colecovision

Picked up @nanochess.bsky.social’s port of Akalabeth for Intellivision. It’ll be on deck for next game.
Find myself wishing it had a digital rom for the Sprint but it’ll be some time before that becomes normal, if ever.
Another second hand bookstore explored! #books
